Normally races or tours are open to join many days in advance.This one is at the last moment open to join :4 HOURS and 10 minutes left to join.Because of this very late moment to open this tour, so far just 5 CFF participants,so a good opportunity to win a tour in 2018 ! Good luck

I did this last minute change ; Lopez for Yates. In fact, I wanted to pick them both. Yates is just picked 5 times.And I already regret this because when I do a last minute change it always turns out badly, and now Yates will ride an awesome Giro.

Bole wins stage 3.CFF League stage 3 winner and new GC leader = surprise......... yes, again ....... KalarratasKalarratas is 3rd in the GC of WSC and I m the leader in the WSC mountain classification. 5 more stages to go.

Im in a long period being 2nd and 3rd in almost everything, stage/GC. Very annoying .

Not annoying to your competition, because in every race you are the top favorite (see season trophies overview)

And here is another chance for you to become 2nd or 3rd, so that the competition can close the huge gap in victories you achieved this season. Next tour =1 HOUR and 55 minutesleft to join. ( X = Edu5 )

Dennis won stage 16, the time trial. Stage 17 winner is Viviani, his fourth stage victory in this Giro.

CFF League :stage 16 winner is also here Australian = Aurora Australis stage 17 winner, and this time not a 2nd or 3rd place, but one of the many 1st places of him this season = Averatalm

Foeke is still leading the GC with 3 mountain stages and one sprint stage to go. But it is very close in the GC, Aurora Australis just 20 points behind. BrotasTeam is also very close and already won 5 stages this Giro, 2 in the mountains, 2 "hills"stages and the prologue.However, Foeke won also a lot of stages (4x) ; 1 mountain-, 2 "hills"- and 1 sprint stage.And although the number 4 of the GC, Averatalm, is a little further behind in the GC, this season it is not wise to underestimate "the Eddy Merckx of Norway" and perhaps he will win the Giro.

CFF League General Classification :

Raim wins stage 4. And Lebas wins stage 5, he is the GC leader with 3 more stages to go.

CFF League :stage 4 winner = Kalarratasstage 5 winner and congratz to his 1st victory this season (he joined the CFF League recently) = GrunnKalarratas is still the GC leader.

Greipel wins stage 1.CFF League stage 1 winner ( it is clear he is in superform this period, or perhaps we should give him an extra doping control ) = Kalarratas
